Pretty much agree although hopefully Smith will start after his concussion. He will need game-time to get up to speed for LI, maybe Steve Mafi too- he wasn't involved with Tonga last weekend and according to wikipedia (not the most reliable source I know but the best I can find) he is not their squad for the AIs. Could see those two starting with Wells and Catchpole on the bench ahead of Guillaume and Bowden. I would start Hamilton ahead of Scully too, think Mele will be on the bench covering 9 and 10, no point risking Bowden given how crucial he is becoming with all the injuries! Don't think Hawkins is back yet.

Would be great to get another win with such a young side, hopefully Captain Boris will keep up his 100% win record! :smt027 :smt027

Whatever we are looking at team wise, I hope the youngsters Harry Wells and
Henry Purdy are given starts on Friday. There performances against Ospreys
were fantastic from the limited amount of time spent on the pitch.

Was not aware about Steve (reported here http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Leice ... story.html), wishing Steve and his family all the best and am impressed, again, by the club's stance on this.

As for Harrison I was aware he had concussion but as he is quoted in the Merc talking about Wuss I presumed he would be available.

Steve Mafi: All I can say & every Tiger supporter/Player/Staff Member indeed everyone involved with this great club of ours is, We all really hope everything turns out ok for you & your family.

Cockers is right "Somethings are more important than Rugby"
& Family is certainly one of those things

I suspect the No8 for those games has been having a rest after washing his blue scrum cap & Cocker's car :smt023

Even if Crane is set to start we need Waldrom on the bench

+1 :smt023 Totally agree.
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.
